Calibration Free Analysis to Measure the Concentration of Active Proteins
Nov 23
An SPR-based method, Calibration Free Concentration Analysis can be used to accurately determine the concentration of active protein in a sample, relating to the specific binding activity of the protein, and without the need for a standard.
Advances in EMCCD Technology: Making Imaging Less Arbitrary
Nov 16
Recent advances in EMCCD technology have solved the problem of non-standardized measurement units by using the photoelectron to standardize imaging experiments.
10 Tips for Successful Sample Concentration and Buffer Exchange
Nov 6
Centrifugal devices with ultrafiltration (UF) membrane can solve common problems researchers face when working with proteins.
Meeting the Challenges of Long-term Time-lapse Imaging
Oct 26
Recent technological developments in the sequence capture of cellular events through a light microscope can be combined to image multiple independent experiments automatically, with many advantages.

Size-Exclusion Chromatography for Purification of Biomolecules
Dec 2
Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) is a popular method to separate biomolecules based on their size. Primarily, it is applied to the separation of biopolymers such as proteins and nucleic acids, i.e. water-soluble polymers.
Improving Separation During Electrophoresis
SeparateIT gels represent a novel gel matrix for DNA electrophoresis. Gel polymers are arranged in a conceptually different way, in accordance with a new theoretical model of gel electrophoresis.
Improving Quality of ELISA
Using ready-to-use ELISA kits from manufacturers is easy and convenient. Sometimes however, home-made ELISA is required because there is no kit available with the right antibodies or the characteristics of the available kits such as their limits of detection are not appropriate.
Nucleic Acid Decontamination with the ExitusPlus Technology
Using new methods that detect extremely low levels of DNA molecules, researchers investigated the molecular mechanism of action of various commercially available DNA decontamination reagents. They found that when using high concentrations of DNA and short incubation times, none of the conventional reagents destroyed DNA molecules efficiently, despite their corrosive or even toxic properties.

Attention Deficit & Hyperactivity in a Drosophila Memory Mutant
Nov 9
Action selection is modulated by external stimuli either directly or via memory retrieval. In a constantly changing environment, animals have evolved attention-like processes to effectively filter the incoming sensory stream. These attention-like processes, in turn, are modulated by memory. The neurobiological nature of how attention, action selection and memory are inter-connected is unknown. We describe here new phenotypes of the memory mutant radish in the fruit fly Drosophila.
Mechanisms of plasticity in simple taxis behaviors in Drosophila
Nov 8
Like the proverbial moth drawn to the candle flame, the fruit fly Drosophila also stereotypically approaches light sources. This positive phototaxis is the archetypal example of hard-wired input-output behaviors.
Live cell imaging of mutant and wild-type GABA-A receptor trafficking using a novel reporter protein
Efficient signaling in the brain requires precise regulation and targeting of cell surface ion-channels. Mutations in these channels associated with inherited diseases can cause improper targeting and reduced surface expression.
ADP-Glo™: An Ideal Approach to Monitor the Activity of Protein Kinases and Beyond
Oct 16
Because of its versatility (alltypesofsubstrates), robustness (Z’>0.8), rapidperformance, and its ease of use, the luminescence based Kinase Glo® assay platform has gained wide acceptance in many drug screening programs for protein kinase inhibitors.

Crosstalk between planar cell polarity signaling and miR-8 control of NHERF1-mediated actin reorganization.
5 hours ago
The response to osmotic stress in developing zebrafish embryos requires proper apical patterning and trafficking of transmembrane ion transporters in ionocytes, specialized cells of the epidermis. The miR-8 family of miRNAs plays a key role in this process by...
A systematic approach to understand the functional consequences of non-protein coding risk regions.
A primary goal of genetic association studies is to elucidate genes and novel biological mechanisms involved in disease. Recently, genome-wide association studies have identified many common genetic variants that are significantly associated with complex...
A role for Chk2 in DNA damage induced mitotic delays in human colorectal cancer cells.
7 hours ago
Progression into mitosis in the presence of DNA damage leads to spindle checkpoint (SAC) dependent mitotic delays and cytokinesis failure. In Drosophila embryos, DNA damage does not delay mitotic entry but triggers Checkpoint kinase-2 (Chk2) kinase dependent...

Prokariotic Cell Collection in Denmark
I would like to know about a prokariotic cell collection in Denmark. Is there a cell bank in this country? I need a Lactobacillus strain for a fermentation assay and this information about the bank is very helpful for me.
